{"id":736,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/736","headline":"Brewers sweep Dodgers to reach first World Series since 1982","dek":"Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 6-4 in Game 4 to complete a four-game NLCS sweep and end the Dodgers' bid for a three-peat.","body":"The Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the World Series for the first time since 1982, closing out the Dodgers with a 6-4 win in Game 4 to complete a four-game NLCS sweep at Dodger Stadium.\n\nIt is a remarkable turn for a franchise that plays in the smallest market in baseball and has never won a World Series. The Brewers also avenged last year's postseason sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, this time flipping the script entirely. The win caps a 103-win regular season, a franchise record, and now Milwaukee will chase its first title in club history.\n\nFor the Dodgers, the loss ends a run of back-to-back championships in 2024 and 2025 and snuffs out any hope of a three-peat. Los Angeles won 100 games of its own this season, the franchise's fifth such campaign since 2019, but an offensive drought, including a slumping Shohei Ohtani, caught up with them against a Brewers team that finally showed it could handle October pressure against a top contender.\n\nMilwaukee now awaits its World Series opponent as it seeks the franchise's first championship.","published_at":"2026-10-16T05:19:20.697634+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"Small-Market Brewers Clinch
